One of the greatest drummers ever! Huge fan, such a shame he isn't recognized more out of the christian metal music scene.

Hi Ted,

Good to see you here. I just joined this site. Do you play left handed? I noticed by the pic, that the toms are in reverse order for a right handed drummer. My former drum teacher, Mark Rogers (Newworldson / LMT Connection) is a left handed drummer.

Hey Bro,
I have to say you are my biggest musical influence. I've had the good fortune of meeting you on several occasions and my band opened for Tourniquet back in 1993. Thank you for being such a blessing to my life.
Kelly

Re: Ted Kirkpatrick

Hey drummers - my new album IN THE SHADOW OF THE MASTERS has been released. I had a blast making it. You can hear/buy it here: http://tourniquet.bandcamp.com/
Also available on itunes, Amazon, Napster, etc. - let me know what you think!

"To me, the fantastic music of the classical masters is in a totally different realm - there simply is no other music to compare it to. I believe it was a time in history that will never be repeated - kind of like when dinosaurs roamed the earth. In drumming to these timeless works as with any music, I always strive to treat the drums as a musical instrument - not just a noisy time keeper. These are some of my favorite composers with some of their most brilliant works." Ted
